Measuring 12″x4″x4″ (13″ circumference), this currently untitle piece derives from much the same idea as “Is she married…”, being constructed of masking tape and utilizing no other materials or colors. Potted plants are decorative by nature, and by stripping this image of a household flower of the charm for which flowers are generally chosed, it loses its purpose and becomes ... [Link]

I have to say that I read “Letters to a Young Poet” in one sitting; its short, but thats not why it took so little time. Rilke’s ideas concerning life, and particularly that part of life that is solitude, spoke to me not only as an artist, but as a human being. To live is to essentially be alone; no ... [Link]

Statement of Intent- “Labyrinth,” a wall piece composed of dryer lint and wire, has an uneasy overtone to it. When people think of dryer lint they image softness. However, when they move in to touch the piece they see what looks to be barbed wire. Their reaction to touch the piece is soon squashed by the fear of being cut. ... [Link]

Statement of Intent- “Home Is Where The Heart Is,” a loom crossed-stitched with dryer lint, is a feminist piece due to the materials and the girly color pink. Being hinged to the wall, the piece lends itself to be examined by the viewer from the front and the back, seeing the process and the finished product. The piece connects the ... [Link]

Over Spring Break I had the privilege of reading “Letters to a Young Poet,” by Rainer Maria Rilke with the intention of relating it directly to art. My goal was easily gained from the start of the book. Some parts of the book seemed as if they were speaking directly to me or setting new light upon my previous methods ... [Link]

Statement of Intent: “Bear,” branching off of “Hamster Fanfare,” measures 10 ¾” x 5” x 5 ¼” and is made from chicken wire, packing tape and dryer lint.
